Rezension

"This groundbreaking collection of scholarship marks the first systematic, comprehensive volume on the multiverse as theory, heralding the birth of a new interdisciplinary field. Studies address speculative texts and narrative across media from a rich variety of methodological perspectives to apprehend nothing less than the most expansive and ambitious construct of the human imagination - 'other worlds.' The global perspective renders insight into the multiverse as treated in texts from North and Latin America to Europe, Japan, and Africa. This book is essential reading for academic specialists, students, and fans alike, who can gain deeper appreciation for the complexity and social implications of this influential cultural form."

David O. Dowling, PhD, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, The University of Iowa; Author of Podcast Journalism: The Promise and Perils of Audio Reporting (2024).

"This excellent collection on theories of the multiverse explores fundamental questions about our world through the imaginative possibilities of alternatives to it. The focus is admirably broad: taking in science fiction, graphic novels, video games, and television to examine digital space, consciousness, parallel and other worlds, and the nature of reality in both its physical and its spiritual manifestations. Equally diverse are the authors brought together in conversation - revealing new voices from North and Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Carefully curated by its editors The Multiverse as Theory offers the first studies of the contemporary influence of multiverse thinking and its epistemic limits."

Martin Willis, Professor, School of English, Communication and Philosophy, Cardiff University.

"This book, edited by Cabrera Torrecilla and Sáez de Adana, brings together a series of fundamental contributions to understand the key role that the concept of multiverse plays in modern and postmodern fictional narratives."

Gerardo Blumenkratz, Chair, Media & Communication Arts Department, City College of New York, City University of New York.
